Oh the suburbs.

I miss the suburbs so much. Not only because that's still what I consider my real home, but there are little things about them that make me appreciate them so much more. For one, you're in YOUR home. It's a place to where you can escape to (was that even grammatically correct?), and no one can interfere with that. Also, you're spared the ruckus and what not from other people, which would be such a breath of fresh air, particularly during this time of the year.

Also, due to my laziness, I'm sure that I would save a good amount of money. The circulars at Morton Williams definitely have dented my wallet this semester, though it's also helped me learn about prices and I've become a better judge of whether or not something is cheap. However, its convenience has also put me at a disadvantage, since if I need a distraction/break, I just stroll outside and browse the circulars, or just see what "today's special" is. My dislike for driving surely would prevent me from making frequent visits to the local supermarket. Sad.

I think I also associate the suburbs with good memories-I don't remember being as stressed as I am now, I used to feel so accomplished...I know they say that when you come to college you're like a small fish in a huge pond, but I'm not even striving to excel in anything anymore-I just wish I were even still doing the things I used to claim to love. I don't even know what I'm doing with my life anymore...

Highlight of my day

There's an old man who lives on my floor in 600 who has the sweetest nurse, and this man is the most ridiculous individual, notorious for saying the most outrageous things ranging from "You're prettier than this elevator!" to "You penis!" (directed at his nurse). I had the great pleasure of waiting for the elevator with him today. As I was trying to avoid eye contact (as to avoid starting the day off on the wrong foot), but he started making these grand gestures that caught my attention. When he suddenly exclaimed, "Broadway dancer?!" Haha. I shook my head and said, "Mmm, no. Sorry." To which he replied, "Oh. Well, you're pretty anyway!" I think maybe he's just lonely and misunderstood.
